HOT-WATER BOTTLE.

Application filed August 4, 1916.

T 0 all whom it may concern 131; it known that I, ARIEL H. LEIGHTON, acitizen of the United States, residing at McMinnville, in the county ofYamhill and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Hot-Water Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to containers and the object of the same is toprovide a device that is constructed preferably of copper adapted toreceive hot water.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a hot watercontainer cf the kind above set forth that is so constructed as toprovide against the collapse of the same.

A still further object of this invention resides in the production of acontainer of the kind above described, that is simple in construction,efficient in operation and consists of the minimum number of parts.

lVith these and other objects in view, this invention consists ofcertain novel constructions COlllbllltliiiOQS and arrangement of parts,as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying d awings:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the improved device.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device with a section thereof removed.

Referring to the parts by rcfcence numerals, this device comprises apair of sections 10 and 11, the said section 10 having at its edge aflange 12 that is adapted to be bent over the adjacent edge of the section 11. Solder or other suitable means can be applied at the seambefore described, if so desired. The section 11 has a suitablereinforcing water tight enlargement 13 adjacent one end thereof which isadapted to retain the means for connecting the handle 14 to the saidsection. The opposite section 10 of the device is provided with anopening into which a suitable closure 15 is secured.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of LettersPatent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

Serial No. 113,141.

A bracing wall for the two sections is provided the same being circularin form and designated by the numeral 16. Flanges 17 are formed on theupper and lower edges of the wall 15 for engagement with the in nerfaces of the sections 10 and 11. Suitable fastening means can be securedto the flanges l7 and the sections 10 and 11 if so desired. Openings 18are provided in the wall 16 so that the water can pass through the wall.

As is well known copper will quickly take heat and retain the same for agreater length of time than most metals. However it has been found bypractical experience that should the device he made without the wall 16,after the hot water has been placed in the same for quite a length oftime the same will collapse.

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form andconstruction of this invention without departing from'the material partsthereof. It is therefore not wished to confine the invention to theexact form herein shown and described, but it is wished to include allsuch as properly come within the scope claimed.

I claim:

In a device of the kind described comprising a pair of sections forminga container, means in one of said sections wherebv water can be placedin the container or discharged therefrom, abracing wall in saidcontainer having flanges on the up or and lower ends thereof for engaement with the inner faces of said sections said bracing wall beingprovided with openings to allow for the passage of water therethrough.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
